Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most distressing,
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh Is
heir to, and the records show very few or
no cases of radical cures of chronic catarrh
by any OF the multitude of modes of treat
ment until the introduction of Ely
Cream Balm a few years ago. The sue
cess of this preparation has been most
gratifying and surprising.

The Wise Man.

There is man in our town, and he is
wondrous wise,
Whenever he writes the printer he
doiteth all his rs:
And when he's dotted all of them, with
great ''sang froid" and ease
He punctuates each paragraph, and crosses
all his is
Upon one side alone he writes, and never
rolls his leaves;
And from the man of ink smile, and
mark "insert" receives.
And when question he doth ask Taught
wisely he has been),
And doth the goodly two-cent stamp, for
postage back, put in.

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products OF daily
renewed mental exhaustion. Business
avocations often involve an amount of
mental wear and tear very prejudicial to
physical health, and the professions, if
arduously pursued, are no less destructive
to brain and nerve tissue. 1t Is one of the
most important attributes of Hostetter' 5
Stomach Bitters, that it compensates for
this under loss of tissue, and that it i'm
parts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which it renews weaken
ed mental energy and physical vitality is
remarkable, and shows that its inyigorat-
ing properties are of the highest order.
Besides increasing vital stamina, and
counteracIng the effects of mental exhaust
ion, this potential medicine cures and
prevents fever and ague, rheumatism,
chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney
and uterine weakness and other COM
plants. Physicians also commend it as a
medicated stimulant and remedy.
